Three Cheers for the Whale
A Film by Chris Marker
and Mario Ruspoli
Chronicles the history of mankind’s relationship with the largest and most majestic of marine mammals, and graphically exposes their slaughter by the whaling industry.
Mario Ruspoli:
Prince of the Whales
A film by Florence Dauman
Director Florence Dauman, whose father was a lifelong friend and producer of Ruspoli’s, uses her privileged perspective to create an intimate portrait of this revolutionary but often overlooked artist.
The result, a film that caused Chris Marker to exclaim, “Finally, the tribute he deserved,” draws on a treasury of relics provided by Ruspoli’s widow, Dominique, as well as the testimonials of friends and admirers included Richard Leacock, D.A. Pennebaker, Albert Maysles, and many more. Establishing Ruspoli’s proper place in film history, it’s a memorial deeply stamped with the personality of its inimitable subject, a eulogy told with love by a friend.
